Butch Burtscher Gets Around-- But Seldom In Baseball Parks
COED'S CORNER
Marjorie Burtscher, College sophomore, probably won't answer if you call "Marge," but she will if you yell "Butch." She's been Butch ever since the fifth grade, when some little boy in Hays, Kansas, tagged her with it as short for Burtscher. And she's answered to it for so long that she has to stop and think when someone uses her given name.
If you've ever been between Frank Strong hall and the Journalism building about 9:30 in the morning, you've seen her dashing in with the official bulletin for the Daily Kansan. Butch's major is journalism, and she eschews likes to write plays and art skets. She says "The hardest part is to have an idea. It's fun to enlarge on it." Newt Trewat *To Baseball*
New Twist To Baseball
She's decided that sports isn't just her line after the ribbing she took when she reported a girls' intramural baseball game recently, and announced that the team "struck two runs."
What she really wants to do after she gets her degree is to write society news for a daily paper. She spent last summer working on a society desk, and "just loves it". She hopes eventually to have her own column.
Butch manages to keep a 2.0 average, and be in a number of activities, too. She's a member of the All Student Council, Women's Executive committee, Pan Hellenic, United Women's council, N. O. W. and Jay James.
Believes Council Necessary
One of her proudest possessions is her A. S. C. key. Butch says, "Contrary to a lot of other people, I think student government is necessary on the Hill, because it is a preview of what life will be like after you get out."
Asked how she'd go about improving the All Student Council, Butch said that she thinks that every person that gets on the Council should be trained in parliamentary procedure, and in a little lawmaking, so that they all know what they are doing.
Marjorie is a member of Alpha Omicron Pi, and is rush captain this semester. It's an appropriate title for a very busy girl.
There Were Four In The Front Seat
Cleveland—(UP) -Peter Williams, in a race with the stork, tried his best to get arrested early Tuesday but lost on both scores.
His wife, Anna, awakened him at 1:30 a.m. saying "Now's the time." A mother seven times before, he thought she should know.
They got in the family car and raced toward City hospital. At an intersection, Mrs. Williams said "They're due now"; and the first child was born.
Williams drove faster, looking for policemen to help and crashing red lights on the way. At another intersection the second child was born.
He found a couple of policemen, outside City hospital, who hastily summoned nurses to take care of the babies and Mrs. Williams. All three are reported to be doing fine.
Miss Agnes Brady, assistant professor of romance languages, has been invited to attend the ceremony today when President Miguel Aleman of Mexico will be conferred the honorary doctor of laws degree by the University of Kansas City. President Aleman is now touring the United States on a return of President Truman's "good-will" visit to Mexico.
Williams muttered. "Now we have four in the front seat."
Miss Brady To Attend Fete
Jeanne Parrott, College freshman doesn't like bugs and shies away from them whenever possible, but Saturday she discovered it might pay to be more tolerant of them.
It's Well To Abide A Bug At Times
As she was driving her car at her home in Hutchinson Saturday afternoon a bug lighted on her wrist. When she tried to slap it away, she increased the speed of the car, went off the road, and side-swiped a tree.
"The most originally-wrapped box for the ISA boxsupper tomorrow, will receive a special secret prize," Shirley Wellborn, ISA president, announced today, and urged all University students to attend the event at Potter lake 6:30 to 9:00 p.m.

Miss Parrott received a black eye and was shaken, but not seriously injured. She did not return to classes Monday but is expected back today. The steering gear of the car was bent 45 degrees and the glass shattered.
